Tae‑Woon Hong,Sang‑In Lee,Jae‑Hyeok Shim,Myoung‑Gyu Lee,Joonho Lee,Byoungchul Hwang 대한금속·재료학회 2021 METALS AND MATERIALS International Vol.27 No.10

An artificial neural network (ANN) model was developed to predict the tensile properties as a function of alloying elementand microstructural factor of ferrite-pearlite steels. The input parameters of the model were composed of alloying elements(Mn, Si, Al, Nb, Ti, and V) and microstructural factors (pearlite fraction, ferrite grain size, interlamellar spacing, and cementitethickness), while the output parameters of the model were yield strength and tensile strength. Although the ferrite-pearlitesteels have complex relationships among the alloying elements, microstructural factors, and tensile properties, the ANNmodel predictions were found to be more accurate with experimental results than the existing equation model. In the presentstudy the individual effect of input parameters on the tensile properties was quantitatively estimated with the help of theaverage index of the relative importance for alloying elements as well as microstructural factors. The ANN model attemptedfrom the metallurgical points of view is expected to be useful for designing new steels having required mechanical properties.

Cytokine and Tumor Environments

Jin Tae Hong1*, Ju Kyung Song, Sun Mi Kwon, Byung Woo Ahn, Youngsoo Kim, Sang Bae Han 충북대학교 동물의학연구소 2012 Journal of Biomedical and Translational Research Vol.13 No.1

Cytokines are known to function as regulatory molecules that can be produced by virtually every nucleated cell type in the body, including lymphocytes, monocytes/macrophages, epithelial cells, fibroblasts, and many others. Cytokines include lymphocyte-derived factors (lymphokines), monocyte-derived factors (monokines), hematopoietic factors (colony-stimulating factors), connective tissue/growth factors, and chemotactic chemokines. Cytokines released in response to infection can affect tumor development in different ways. When exposed to infectious agents, cytokines are secreted by sentinel cells, such as macrophages and dendritic cells. These cytokines include interleukin 1 (IL-1) and tumor necrosis factor-α, as well as others, such as IL-6, IL-12, and IL-18. When released in sufficient quantities, these molecules can cause inflammation. Chronic inflammation is highly associated with tumor initiation, promotion, and progression. In this article, we review the roles and mechanisms of cytokines in tumor development.

This study was designed to know difference in degree of dehardening and rehardening respectively by artificial high and low temperature treatments among different clonal seedlings and seedlings from different seed sources of Cryptomeria japonica which have been grown under the cold areas in Japan and Korea. High temperature treatment was done with 15 to 20℃ under 100% relative humidity for one to nine days and low temperature treatment was carried with -7℃ for one to three days. Occasionaly, high temperature treatment was combined and followed by low temperature treatment. The ability of stem section to delay dehardening by high temperature treatment and/or to hasten rehardening by low temperature treatment was used as an indicator of adaptability under extreme temperature fluctuation in nature. Clones and seedlings from different seed sources which showed greater freezing resistance than others after artificial high and/or low temperature treatments were selected over two to three time periods: early winter, mid winter and early spring in 1977 to 1980. These were Seoul #7, and #9, Namboo #3, and #4, Sung-Kang #11, Chung-Sam #8 and Huek-Suk #9. These selected seedlings might have survival advantage to withstand early and late frost damage, especially the critical frost damage of the basal stem, since it was known to be induced by lowering freezing resistance of the basal part when exposed to the high temperature near the ground during the day. Large variation in freezing resistance and degree of dehardening and rehardening was found among clonal or seed sources and among individuals within a seed source, but was not related to the difference in climatic conditions where the parent trees was selected. These indicated the possibility of future breeding work for more cold resistant family of Cryptomeria japonica.

Recently biodiesel has drawn much attraction as renewable enegy due to its environmental benefits and the fact that it is made from renewable resources. However, the production cost of biodiesel is one of the main hurdle to commercialize it. One of the way to reduce the biodiesel production cost is to use the waste cooking oil as feedstock. In the conventional transesterification process of waste cooking oils for biodiesel production, the presence of free fatty acids and water causes severe problems such as formation of soap and decreasing of catalyst yield. Much effort has been devoted to solve the above problems and one of the promising way is the supercritical methanol treatment which is performed at the methanol supercritical environment (>239.45oC, >8.10 Mpa)one of the serious problems of the application of SCM process for the biodiesel production is the tough operation condition(high pressure, high temperature. In this study, we have studied about the supercritical methanol treatment for the biodiesel production with the soybean waste cooking oil as a feedstock in the present of various heterogeneous solid catalysts such as mesoporous silica and acid-doped mesorpous silica. Biodiesel conversion was increased at more mild opreation condition to the previous studies by using the catalysts. The conversion was more enhanced by modifying the catalysts.

Purpose: Necrotizing soft tissue infection is the infection of the soft tissue with necrotic changes. It is rare, but results in high mortality. We analyzed the characteristics of patients, prognosis, and mortality factors after reviewing 30 cases of a single hospital for 5 years. Methods: From January 2009 to December 2013, 30 patients diagnosed with necrotizing fasciitis or Fournier’s gangrene in Pusan National University Hospital were enrolled for this study. The following parameters were analyzed retrospectively: demographics, infection site, initial laboratory finding, initial antibiotics, isolated microorganisms, number of surgeries, time to first operation, length of intensive care unit, and total hospital stays. Results: The overall mortality rate was 23.3%. Mean body mass index (BMI) of the survival group (24.7 ± 5.0 kg/㎡) was significantly higher than the nonsurvival group (22.0 ± 1.4 kg/㎡, P = 0.029). When BMI was less than 23 kg/㎡, the mortality rate was significantly higher (P = 0.025). Two patients (6.7%) with chronic kidney disease requiring hemodialysis died (P = 0.048). Initial WBC count (>13×10<SUP>3</SUP>/μL), CRP (>26.5 mg/dL), and platelet (PLT) count (<148×10<SUP>3</SUP>/μL) were found to have negative impact on the prognosis of necrotizing soft tissue infection. Factors such as potassium level, blood urea nitrogen (>27.6 mg/dL), serum creatinine (>1.2 mg/dL) that reflected kidney function were significant mortality factors. Conclusion: Patients with low BMI or abnormal values of WBC count, CRP, and PLT count reflecting the degree of infection or abnormal renal function will need more intensive care.

Sung-Ho Yoon,Jang Gyun Lim,Jongpal Hong,Sang-Keun Han,Moon-Ki Kim,JAE-BOONG CHOI,Tae-Rin Lee 한국공업화학회 2020 Journal of Industrial and Engineering Chemistry Vol.89 No.-

Taylor-Couetteflow, multiple vortex rings, is developed by rotating a co-axial rod in a cylindrical reactor. It is helpful in applying stable shear forces to suspended particles in thefluid domain. Recently, by usingthe Taylor-Couetteflow, various experiments were performed to prepare micro-size particles at thelaboratory level. However, unlike the simple concept of particle preparation by the Taylor-Couetteflow, itis challenging to predict particle size distributions in thefluid domain, especially in the scale-up issue of aTaylor-Couette reactor. In this reason, computational methods are required to calculate particle growth influidflow. In this paper, ammonium perchlorate particles in the Taylor-Couetteflow are simulated byusing a population balance equation model, connected to a module of computationalfluid dynamics. Firstof all, physical and empirical parameters for the population balance equation are determined by usingexperimental data in a Taylor-Couetteflow reactor. Secondly, particle size distributions in a scale-upreactor are predicted by using the proposed method. Finally, validity and applicability of the suggestedmethod are fully discussed on the basis of simulation results. As a major result, the simulation model forammonium perchlorate particles was reliable in predicting their sizes along time. In addition, withoutchanging the model parameters, the simulation results matched well with the experiments in the scaleupreactor. Based on the simulation results, it is expected that the suggested method can be utilized toestimate particle size distributions in various boundary and operating conditions.

( Tae Ha Kim ),( Md Sufi Ullah Siddik Bhuyan ),( Kwan Ju Lee ),( Myung Chul Shin ),( Sung Ha Hong ),( Yong Chan Seo ),( Young Hwan Chu ) 한국폐기물자원순환학회(구 한국폐기물학회) 2013 한국폐기물자원순환학회 심포지움 Vol.2013 No.4

Hydrolysis of triacylglycerol(TAG) from fats and oils to glycerol and free fatty acid (FFA), also referred to as fat splitting, is an important reaction for the olechemical industry. Typically, hydrolysis is carried out at 100-260℃ and 100-7000 kPa using 0.4-0.15(w/w) initial water to oil ratio with or without catalysts. It is an endothermic reaction occurs in a stepwise manner where TAG is initially hydrolyzed to diacyglycerol (DAG) then to monoacylglycerol(MAG) and finally to glycerol. Water, in its subcritical state, can be used as both a solvent and reactant for the hydrolysis of triglycerides. subcritical water (150℃<T<370℃,0.4< p<22Mpa) can act as an acid or base catalyst. To investigate milder reaction conditions, in this study, waste cooking oil and fresh soybean oils will be hydrolyzed to free fatty acids with deionized water under SC CO2 medium in a batch reactor. Effects of the reaction temperature, time and solvent to feed ratio on FFA in the hydroysis at equilibrium will also observed for optimum conversion of oil. The reaction products will be analyzed by acid-base titration, GC FID and HPLC.
